Hi Arthur,
I'm not the original poster, but I deployed a simple communications app
recently and I used a new company called Firebase. Firebase is still in
beta, but it basically handles the entire communications backend for you,
and all you need is some javascript on your side. Here's a quick
I ended up writing my own solution, which is essentially a replacement for
the channel APIs.
The solution involves a node.js service that multiplexes to the clients. I
used websocket-node (https://github.com/Worlize/WebSocket-Node) on the
node.js end, and SocketRocket
Thanks for the inputs. I might just try firebase instead of trying to build
my own solution. Either that or use XMPP which I have working right now
using a resource for each client connection.
I did start down the NodeJS path as well just like Kris is doing except I
used socket.io with NodeJS
Hey Christoph, may I ask what you ended up doing?
I thought about registering one gtalk account and use it within the game
client (register each client with a unique ressource, or maybe with a
ressource per game). So basically the GAE app would send messages to
my_customapp [at] gmail [dot]
The latency is mind blowingly low in my experience.

Hello Christoph,
Welcome to GAE (group)!
I'd like to share my PubNub experience:
I have been using PubNub for updating thousands of iPhones at the same time.
Once you have a (java) instance running which as already connected to
pubnub in the past, it publishes fast.
I don't know the latency
Hi,
I know that a few people have mentioned using PubNub http://www.pubnub.comfor
broadcasting events to multiple users, although I've no idea what the
latency is like for it.
Cheers,
Simon
